Re:Should you normalize RGB values by 255 or 256?
on Monday June 01, 2026 @02:56PM (#48361082)
If you have a ruler and it goes to 12 inches, you should normalize by the length L and not by 13, the number of points on the ruler.

Re:RFC 454545 – Human Em Dash Standard
on Tuesday March 10, 2026 @02:38PM (#47327166)
Hot take: I think the em-dash is just lazy punctuation that can be replaced by the more nuanced pauses, i.e. the comma, semicolon, and colon. I think its popularity stems from people being confused on how to use a semicolon.

I'm tired of this pseudointellectual reductionist response. It's not "literally by accident" when they're trained to do something, as if we are not also machines that generate next actions based on learned neural weights and abstract (embedded) representations. Your issue is with semantics rather than content.
Obviously "hallucinate" and "lie" are metaphors. Get over it. These are still emergent structures that we have a lot to learn from by studying. But I suppose any attempt by researchers to do so should be disregarded because Person On The Internet has watched the 3blue1brown series on Neural Nets and knows better. We know the basic laws of physics, but spend lifetimes studying their emergent behaviors. This is really no different.

Re:Symmetry between up and down quarks is more broken than expected
on Monday March 31, 2025 @03:24PM (#43538771)
This misses the point of isospin. Isospin is an approximate SU(2) symmetry due to the fact that the up and down quarks (the "light" quarks) have very similar masses compared to the rest of the quarks, so they can be approximated as two different eigenstates of the same particle. It's mathematically identical to the SU(2) symmetry of a spin-half particle. The reason it doesn't include the other quarks is because they are so much more massive.

For better or worse, news flows through social media, so this approach basically amounts to ignoring all the bad stuff going on. If you read HN, chances are you can probably safely get through the next four years doing this. But as the saying goes, "first they came for the communists..."

Bingo. The (very American) dilution of the title "engineer" has been sad to see.

Re:Show HN: I built a game to help you learn neural network architectures
on Tuesday May 21, 2024 @03:04PM (#40432471)
I have always found neural network diagrams like the RNN one here to be very vague and even slightly misleading. What does it mean that h_t loops onto itself? While I know that it means "take as input h_{t-1} also", the diagram itself does not illustrate the concept to the primary person looking at such a diagram, i.e. someone wanting to learn about the architecture.
